Pediatric General Surgery

Surgical Care for Children

The Department of Pediatric Surgery at the Children's Hospital of Michigan is the largest pediatric surgery program in Metro Detroit. With this level of expertise on the pediatric surgical staff, physicians throughout Michigan refer child and infant surgery cases to the Children's Hospital of Michigan.

From common procedures like appendectomies and hernia repairs to more complex surgeries for congenital anomalies, board-certified pediatric surgeons at the Children's Hospital of Michigan provide surgical care for a broad range of conditions affecting children. Pediatric surgeons specialize in abdominal and chest surgery as well as many conditions of the head, neck and extremities. They remove tumors and correct congenital anomalies, often operating on patients weighing less than one pound.

The pediatric surgery physicians and staff are highly trained in the latest surgical techniques in order to provide the best possible outcome for patients. The department offers 24-hour physician on call services and a child-friendly waiting area and examination rooms.
